Week One

Lesson 01 - Are Your Air and Water Safe? How Air and Water Quality Affect Health
Wednesday

The quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink is essential to our overall well-being, our economic prosperity, and the environment. Clean air and water play an important role in maintaining our health, and contaminants in either one or both can impact our well-being and lead to the development of many diseases. In high enough concentrations, these contaminants can be fatal. Creating optimal healing environments requires close attention to air and water quality.

Lesson 02 - The Global Health Impacts of Overpopulation
Friday

The term "overpopulation" is not a common topic of conversation between citizens or among politicians. Yet, overpopulation is now considered to be the biggest threat to the future of the planet. Because the world's population is growing at an alarming rate that has never been experienced before in history, those of us here today must consider the serious health and environmental implications of continued growth. The Earth is not expanding and resources are limited.

Week Two

Lesson 03 - Human Health and Climate Change—Is There a Connection?
Wednesday

Numerous independent researchers and scientists across the world acknowledge that Earth is warming, and that human activity is the primary cause. How much climate change we will experience in the future is dependent on the choices we all make as global citizens to reduce our global emissions and reconsider our patterns of consumption.

Lesson 04 - Is Your Home Hazardous to Your Health?
Friday

While most of us consider our home a place of safety, the products we use every day and the communities in which we live can be causing our health to suffer. Common everyday items and medications can prove toxic to ourselves, our families, our pets, and the environment. In addition, the way our house and neighborhood is designed and built can either improve or degrade our health and the health of our communities. By knowing how our home and neighborhood can impact our health and knowing what is in our homes, we can empower ourselves to improve our health as well as the health of our families and our community.
